    Unless, hear me out here,

    There’s this theory that there’s no such thing as Dark Matter; but rather, billions of free floating miniature black holes just wandering the cosmos as leftovers from the big bang.

    What if the galaxies lacking “dark matter” are the ones where Type 3 civilizations have worked to capture, contain, and harness all these rogue black holes, especially if they may pose a threat to interstellar travel.

      That would make those black holes the dark matter.

      Also why don’t they evaporate like other small black holes? Sorry I can’t watch your video right now.

      Wouldn’t the mass of those black holes still be there, acting like they did to speed up the galaxy?

      Well you see, the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Tankie Triad Thought States that Dark Matter is bourgeois, and that actually Galaxies are held together by the unwavering spirit of the Proletarian masses o7

    … Is there anything preventing ‘dark matter’ or at least a substantial portion of it… from being just largely normal matter dust or gasses spread so thin we cannot 100% detect confirm detect them?

    Uuh, with three galaxies I guess you can finally do some statistics on whether they are merely an outlier in a distribution or there is an actual mechanism at work here.
